SCHOOL SKI TRIP – BE SAFE, RESPECTFUL AND HAVE FUN
To make sure everyone has a safe and fun day, all students must agree to:
Stay with your buddy and group at all times.
Follow instructions from teachers, ski instructors, and ski patrol.
Ski or snowboard only in areas you’ve been approved for.
Stick to the track if hiking.
Wear your helmet at all times while skiing or boarding.
Keep your gear on and organised — don’t leave it lying around.
Be respectful of others on the field — no cutting in lift lines or dangerous skiing. Same for overtaking mountain biking.
Let an adult know if you’re cold, lost, hurt or worried.
Use kind words and support others who are learning.
No snowball throwing or unsafe behaviour near buildings or people.
Have fun — and represent your school with pride!
